Decent efficiency improvement of organic photovoltaic cell with low acidic hole transport material by controlling doping concentration
摘要： Presently, poly (3, 4-ethylenedi-oxythiophene): polystyrene sulfonic acid (PEDOT:PSS) is most commonly used hole transport material (HTM) in photovoltaic (PV) cells but its higher acidity, hygroscopicity, high price have motivated people to develop a good substitute. Here, we prepare a series of PSS-doped polyaniline (PANI) with synergic (around 90%) transmittance and work function value (within 5.09-5.16 eV) varying PSS concentrations to check the possible utility as HTM in a poly (3-hexylthiophene): [6, 6]-indene-C60 bisadduct based organic photovoltaic (OPV) cell. Here, it is observed that, because of change in conductivity, the PV performance of those OPV devices is strongly dependent on the doping concentration of the HTM and, at optimized PSS concentration, PANI:PSS has higher conductivity. This facilitates better hole extraction efficiency into the PV device and results in higher short circuit current density (JSC). Therefore, the PANI:PSS-based OPV device with optimized PSS concentration exhibits same level of power conversion efficiency (PCE: 4.5±0.2 %) as a PEDOT:PSS based OPV device. Thus, a lower acidic (pH = 2.2) p-type semiconductor PANI:PSS (weight ratio = 1:1 and) can be a good alternative to highly acidic (pH = 1.7) PEDOT:PSS ( weight ratio = 1:6, Clevious Al 4083) for using as HTM in an OPV device.

Enhanced photovoltaic performance of quinoxaline-based small molecules through incorporating trifluoromethyl substituents
摘要： Two D-A-D type quinoxaline-based small molecules have been synthesized by Suzuki coupling reaction for solution-processable organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs). The electron-donating triphenyl-amine was connected to both ends of an electron-withdrawing 2,3-diphenylquinoxaline core through thiophene bridge to produce QxTPA. In addition, QxCF3TPA was formed by introducing strong electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl (CF3) groups into the para-position of the phenyl ring at the 2,3-position of quinoxaline core in QxTPA to explore their effect on the various properties of small molecules. The finding revealed the significant contributions of CF3 substituents in enhancing the photovoltaic performances of OPVs with QxCF3TPA compared to the reference case with QxTPA.

Asymmetric 9,9a?2-bifluorenylidene-based small molecules as the non-fullerene acceptors for organic photovoltaic cells
摘要： Three new asymmetric 9,9'-bifluorenylidene-based derivatives, 2,7-dibutoxyl-3',6'-bis(5-methylenemalononitrile-3-octylthiophen-2-yl)-9,9'-bifluorenylidene (BF-TDCN2), 2,7-dibutoxyl-3',6'-bis(5-(methylene-indene-1,3-dione)-3-octylthiophen-2-yl)-9,9'-bifluorenylidene (BF-TID2) and 2,7-dibutoxyl-3',6'-bis(5-(2-methylene-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-ylidene)malononitrile)-3-octylthiophen-2-yl)-9,9'-bifluorenylidene (BF-TDCI2), were successfully synthesized by grafting different electron-withdrawing groups (malononitrile (DCN), 1H-indene-1,3(2H)-dione (ID) and 2-(3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-ylidene)malononitrile (DCI)), which were used as the electron acceptors for organic photovoltaic cells. By changing the electron-withdrawing ability of the terminal group, the molecular energy level and band gap can be easily adjusted. The optical bandgaps of the three compounds in the thin films decreased with increasing the electron-withdrawing ability of the terminal group. Besides, the lateral chains of alkoxy groups located at the asymmetric end also play a certain influence on the solubility, molecular aggregation and the miscibility with polymer donor. Among these electron acceptors, the photovoltaic cell fabricated PBDB-T:BF-TDCI2 exhibited a maximum power conversion efficiency of 4.85% with an open-circuit voltage of 0.88 V and a low energy loss of 0.62 eV. By investigating different processing processes, the results showed that the power conversion efficiency can be improved by 20% with simple solvent annealing treatment. Through further study on the morphology and photophysical properties of the active layers, it was found that the processed device had better phase separation size and morphology, which was favorable to enhancing the intermolecular interaction, thus improving exciton separation and charge transfer in the active layer.

Non-Fullerene Small Molecule Acceptors Containing Barbituric Acid End Groups for Use in High-performance OPVs
摘要： We synthesized two new bithiophene-based small molecules, TT-BBAR, and TT-OBAR, having butyl- and octyl-substituted barbituric acid (BAR) groups, respectively, via a well-known synthetic method, the Knoevenagel condensation, in high yield. These small molecules displayed solubilities and thermal stabilities sufficient for the fabricating organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs) and were designed to have relatively low molecular orbital energy levels and act as non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) for use in OPVs upon introduction of electron-withdrawing BAR groups at both ends. For example, the LUMO and HOMO energy levels of TT-OBAR were ?3.79 and of ?5.84 eV, respectively, clearly lower than those of a polymer donor, PTB7-Th. Importantly, the small molecules featured an energy offset with PTB7-Th sufficient for achieving exciton dissociation. The optical and electrochemical properties of TT-BBAR and TT-OBAR did not depend on the alkyl chain length. Finally, OPV devices were fabricated in an inverted structure using a solvent process. The power conversion efficiency of TT-OBAR (1.34%) was found to be slightly higher than that of TT-BBAR (1.16%). The better performance and higher short-circuit current value of TT-OBAR could be explained based on a morphological AFM study, in which TT-OBAR displayed a more homogeneous morphology with a root-mean-square value of 1.18 nm compared to the morphology of TT-BBAR (11.7 nm) induced by increased alkyl chain length.
